Ninoshima, a small island just a 20-minute ferry ride from Hiroshima Port, is known for its beautiful mountain called "Aki no Kofuji" (Little Mt. Fuji of Aki). It offers a peaceful retreat where visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and seaside cycling. Historically, it was a quarantine station during wars and is famous as the place where the first Baumkuchen in Japan was baked by a German prisoner of war. The island combines scenic beauty with historical significance. Exploring the island on a bicycle while looking back at the Hiroshima city skyline across the sea provides a refreshing and calm "island time" experience, away from the bustling city.
